Short answer: A reasonable free waiting window is included at pickup — longer for airport arrivals to cover baggage collection. Beyond that, waiting is charged at an hourly rate stated when you book. Packaged sightseeing and darshan trips have waiting built in.

Where waiting charges apply and where they do not
They apply to point-to-point bookings where the driver is held beyond the free window. They do not apply to hourly and daily packages — an 8 hour / 80 km package already includes the driver's time, so waiting at a museum or a market is not an extra charge. This is one reason packages suit sightseeing better than point-to-point bookings.Airport and station arrivals
Airport pickups get a longer free window because baggage collection is unpredictable. If the flight itself is delayed, the driver's reporting time moves with it and no waiting is charged for the delay — that was the airline's doing, not yours. The same applies to delayed trains when you have given us the train number.Darshan trips
Temple queues at Mahakaleshwar or Salkanpur are unpredictable in a way that no hourly meter handles fairly. We quote these as packages with generous waiting built in rather than starting a clock, so a four-hour queue does not become an argument at the end of an already long day.Why Book With Krishna Travels
